Experts from the following aspects of specific guidance. 1, temperature and light of the newborn to the outside world, some of the temperature difference is not adapted to the appropriate indoor temperature should be maintained at 25 ℃ ~ 28 ℃, the summer should be appropriate to cool down, and in winter need to keep warm, but should pay attention to the ventilation is better to have a heater in the body; and indoor light can not be too dark or too bright, some parents think that newborns are less sensitive to the light, afraid of stimulating the eyes, often like to hang up the heavy curtains, in fact, it’s In fact, this is not appropriate, the baby should be allowed to learn to adapt to the natural indoor light, and avoid direct sunlight on the eyes. 2, clothes and diapers newborn underwear (including diapers) should be soft and easy to absorb cotton fabrics, better not to use chemical fibers or dyed fabrics; clothes should be light in color, easy to find dirt, and to prevent the dyes on the newborn skin irritation; clothes as loose as possible, does not interfere with limb activities and easy to wear easy to take off; because the newborn head heat dissipation is large, cold climate or room temperature should be low when wearing a small hat, the same It should be soft and comfortable. Diapers with soft absorbent cotton fabrics, do wash and change, usually more than 4 times during the day, the night should be changed more than 2 times, each time the change should be cleaned little buttocks, and the external application of the appropriate amount of skin care oils; diaper is to choose a better quality and breathable performance of the diaper at home as much as possible, go out or sleep with the “diaper”; Note that the diaper or diaper package should not be too tight, so that the limbs are free to stretch. 3, sleep and sleeping position Sleeping position affects the whistle, and the newborn’s head is relatively soft, a good sleeping position is conducive to the development of the skull. It is recommended to have a comfortable, small pillow with a thickness of 1 to 2 centimeters, slightly sunken in the middle and slightly raised at both ends. The better sleeping position is to lie on the back or side, in order to avoid compression of the chest and lungs, it is recommended to take more side sleep after feeding, in order to avoid overflow of milk or choking caused by asphyxia; in the supine position, you should change the position often; due to the strong mobility of the full-term infants, the first few days of life can be appropriate to take the prone position, in order to facilitate the outflow of secretions from the airways, to prevent vomiting into the trachea, but prone to take off the pillow must be taken, the head sideways, at this time, there should be a parent In this case, there should be a parent to supervise the baby. Newborns usually need to sleep 18 to 20 hours a day, but not full-term babies should not sleep for a long time, parents should wake up every 2 to 3 hours to facilitate feeding. 4, breastfeeding and feeding newborn feeding is a great study. The expert’s view is that breastfeeding after birth as early as possible, usually about half an hour after birth. If the mother does not produce milk temporarily, but also try to let the newborn suck on the nipple, in order to promote milk secretion, and enhance the mother and baby’s feelings conducive to the mother’s body due to childbirth caused by the healing of post-partum wounds. Breastfeeding should take the “vertical position” that is, the head is slightly raised, which is more ideal, more in line with the natural law of breastfeeding. In this position, the newborn and parents look at each other, but also increase the sense of intimacy; breastfeeding should be washed before washing their hands and nipples clean, the mother should wear a mask if there is a disease of the airways when feeding, such as breast skin rupture or inflammation, you should consult a doctor to decide whether to continue breastfeeding according to the specific circumstances. When breastfeeding, it is better for one breast to be emptied and fed before changing to the other breast next time to prevent the residual milk from stagnating in the breast. If there is still excess milk in one breast after feeding, it is better to express it to promote normal lactation of the breasts and to avoid stagnation of milk or secondary infection. Artificial feeding try not to directly feed fresh milk, because the protein and other nutrients contained therein are not suitable for newborns; mixed feeding (breastfeeding and milk substitute feeding combination), should be the first to breastfeeding. The size of the teat hole should be moderate and pay attention to the temperature during artificial feeding, try not to let the baby inhale air when feeding from the teat to avoid spitting up, while the baby’s back can be patted gently after feeding to avoid accumulation of gas. In addition, bottles and nipples should be strictly sterilized by boiling. Feeding does not need to pay too much attention to timing, in general about 3 hours to feed once, each time to eat enough to eat well as the principle: that is, the baby does not cry and noisy after eating milk, and normal weight gain.
